If you're considering the compact crossover class for your next vehicular purchase, we here at Lamarque Ford Inc would be downright delighted to introduce you to ours, the 2017 Ford Escape.
And what is it that makes this one a smart SUV selection? Check the clip below to get the inside scoop from Cars.com critic Joe Bruzek:
No doubt about it, the Escape's base drivetrain -- a turbo 1.5-liter four-cylinder -- is an absolute gem. Good for a healthy 179 horsepower and 172 pound-feet of torque, this four-banger teams with a six-speed automatic transmission and is offered with your choice of either front- or all-wheel drive.
It's by way of its fuel economy that the entry-level engine really makes a case for itself, however. When had in front-drive form, for instance, it's expected to return an impressive 26 mpg combined (23 city/30 highway).
